QUESTION NO. 41

QUESTION: Councillor N. Whelan

To ask the Chief Executive how many offers of housing were revoked in 2025 after an income assessment was carried out?

REPLY:

According to our records, six offers of accommodation were withdrawn in 2025, after income assessments confirmed the households exceeded the eligibility criteria for social housing support.

Net income thresholds for social housing supports must be equal to or less than the thresholds outlined in the table below:

Single Adult	€40,000
2 Adults No Children	€42,000
1 Adult 1 Child	€41,000
1 Adult 2 Children	€42,000
2 Adults 1 Child	€43,000
2 Adults 2 Children	€44,000
2 Adults 3 Children	€45,000
2 Adults 4 or more Children	€46,000
3 Adults 4 or more Children	€48,000

It should be noted that household net income includes the income of all household members 18 years and older. There is a maximum cap of 3 adults allowable of €44,000 and there is no cap on the number of children per application, with additional €1,000 allowable per child.
